Soprillo Saxophone at NAMM

[silentassaiIent]

That sounds like Bozza's Improvisation et Caprice that you attempt to play at the beginning, is it not? Nice lol

[MyrtleTurtle1]

Got here from the Sub-Contrabass Saxophone video.

[valsom10]

Looks like a little metal oboe. Lmao.

Why would anyone want to play that?! A sax is annoyingly squeaky enough without making a mini.

[Cody5745]

Hey everyone if you like this video check out my videos I play the alto sax :)

[doyoureally95]

the mouthpiece and reed would be interesting to see :D

[Cody5745]

@doyoureally95

Hey I play the Alto Sax check out my sound

[jdbarrera]

@doyoureally95 The mouthpiece has a spring embedded in it that is part of the mechanism.

[peelincaps]

sounds like someone shrunk kenny g's head...

[Cody5745]

@peelincaps

Hey I play the alto sax check out my sound

[MrEuforia7]

this is the kind of horn you take on a date just like in anchor man right out of the sleeve. lol

[MANogueiraST]

Ajudaria muito se o cara soubesse tocar...

[AccioUnicorn1]

where do you buy a soprillo saxophone??

and do you know how much 1 costs?

[Solatawco]

@DaisyStar24 excuse me? Im a flute and a tenor sax.

[TheDarkAngel27]

me want one...now

[Babiekitty1]

now get the epic sax guy to play it!!

[MrFerenox]

who would play such a fucking annoying instrument??????!!!!

[TheSpRiTe79]

that other instrument in the background sounds like an alto sax

[wolfgirl95nom]

Why not just play the mouthpiece? o.O

[tsmcdermott]

I wonder what the lowest note sounds like :o

[SAXXTIME]

Improvisation and Caprice. lawl :p

[cesarinman]

Sounds like a puppy. :P

[Yeliabh45]

Contrabass vs this!!

[turkledurk]

how much does one of those babts cost online?

[TheEpicBudgie]

It's so cute :3

[EziosDisciple]

i want a soprillo saxaphone just to piss off the piccolos in my band with MY high pitched notes

[theclinger]

@EziosDisciple Do it.

[UpcomingJedi]

FINALLY!! at least this guy doesnt just talk about the thing but instead plays something on it, even if it is just making noises.

[robbieL1993]

was that first little run "Caprice" from Improvisation et Caprice???

[buslady]

that thing is annoying

[gnomeslayer17]

that thing is HUGE

[hovanti]

I was waiting for a snake to begin rising out of a basket.

[Jtinker6171]

I wonder how tight your embouchure has to be to play that thing.

[KichiTyph]

@aurdir1thenewone what about the tubax? Hahaha. I think subcontrabass sax should count. It was developed by the same guy who developed all but the tubax and this soprillo sax.

[tiga122]

what is the namm?

[xXDellArtXx]

I told him his saprano would shrink if he dried it on high...

[brickofman]

i gota get one where they at amazon?

[i0nPuNk182]

that thing can fit in my pocket!

[bdsaxophone]

hmmm, would you use toothpicks for a reed?

[jazzgod101]

improv and caprice at the beginning! nice man haha

[thesocraticway]

ITS SO CUTE ^-^

[ClueLou]

sheez. sounds like a kazoo

[shepgthollywood]

lol improvisation et caprice at the beginning?

[jasaxophonist]

HEY! where are these instrument show. Where and when is the next one?

[Noeow]

AWESOME

[UnfadeableIsaiah]

Whoa! That's weird! I've never heard anything smaller than a sopranino. I'm not knocking your playing brotha, because you're playing well but it sounds like you can charm some snakes with that thing! How much does that thing weigh?

[foxmusicteacher]

I'll bet intonation is really hard to control on that thing

[omgeemecarrie]

omg! its so tiny compared to the alto :)

[MadSuicidalBunny]

@omgeemecarrie make an alto look like a bass sax lol

[btsax2]

how much does one of those cost

[Thehangman101]

about £2000 for a cheap one

[Thehangman101]

bout £2-3000

[jimmyjazz78]

Funny stuff, James. I'd love to see you pull this out at a serious recital.

[scocad]

All the dogs within a mile must have been howling.

[KidArco27]

caprice?

[robfainmusic]

I like the Bozza Improvisation and Caprice attempt! Sounds like a really hard sax to play

[jamesbach54]

i wouldnt buy one i want a CONtRABASS SAX

[juwan66]

james, bigger saxes are worse than smaller saxes

[jamesbach54]

@juwan66 what are you talking about evry sax is good in my eyes watch this

Soprillo Sax, Sopranino Sax, Soprano Sax, Alto Sa, TENOR SAX I PLAY THAT, Baritone Sax, Bass Sax, And the Contrabass Sax

THE SAXAPHONE FAMILY

[audir1thenewone]

@jamesbach54 subcontrabass sax (doesnt really count but it is a sax)

[SaxoRamirez]

you missed the mezzo soprano and the C-Melody.

[anthonyianryanshane]

@jamesbach54 you are SO right about saxophones but i play alto (:

[firemaka]

indeed

[Pabbulo]

: (....------:P

[juwan66]

i can pretty much tell half of the notes hes playing cuz its Bb like the tenor

[barnyardsax]

Love it James!! Never tried but looks like fun!!

[mopperson101]

dude that was cool! stupidd flute guy in the back ground lol.. you should play this lol

[ronniegranillo]

By the way, my brother watches this video when ever I use the computer. He's in love with that guys face and he laughs like a hyena when he hears it! Awsome playing though.

[joshsalas12]

lol the fat dude on 0:27 was annoyed from his playing!

[jdbarrera]

@joshsalas12 He was a kinda snooty flute salesman.

[snoopyflick]

@jdbarrera I thought he was a snooty Kazoo salesman.

[DaisyStar24]

@jdbarrera Flutes, they will never understand the excellence of a saxophone, no matter how squeaky it sounds it's always amazing :)

[DancingSpiderman]

@jdbarrera haha "kinda snooty" good for you for being honest.

[Tanru2000]

@joshsalas12 Looks like after he turns around he says something to security! LOL!

[allstateareyouingood]

how much?

[ronniegranillo]

Wow! And I thought that Sapranino saxophone was the smallest!

[grandmasterkrush]

he's not playing that bad

[jdbarrera]

@grandmasterkrush Not too good though?? lol

[Chrisroxproductions]

@jdbarrera hes just messing around

[MrKillingourAngel]

@jdbarrera honestly, its not bad. Was it your first attempt? I play Alto, Tenor, an Baritone. Even starting with a lot of sax knowledge on a new one is hard.

[fearsomegladiator]

Wow, that is annoying.

[Kirschthollar]

wow i thought it would sound like a flute that high, but its still a sax, thats cool sounding

[BLinDaTbESt]

Ah I want one!

[fivestander]

sounds like a tiny trumpet

cool

[adie84esp]

it looks like a baby straight soprano.. lol

[2frys2]

lol nice

[jman13097]

do they get any smaller? ive learned of three new saxes today...freaking wow

contrabass,bari,tenor,alto,sop­rano,sopranino,soprillo.... any more?

[nicksbuds]

yes altosisomo idk how to spell it but its about the size of the spacebar on a pc

[razrv3lc]

the regular bass sax

[gweeemonster]

bass. in between contra and bari.

[AreSkavlid]

+C- soprano, Mezzosoprano, C-melody, slide-sax, bass, (subcontrabass) + Eb, Bb and C tubax

[GattlingGuitarGuru]

some weird thing i just saw called a tubax....

[wango911]

the tubax is basically a modified contrabass sax, its just half the size

[SasukeHeavenCurse354]

Sopranissimo is the smallest, 8 inches long I think.

[wango911]

no it exactly 12 inches with the mouthpiece on and sopranissimo is another name for soprillo

[kennythebassist45]

piccolo sax

[WaluiJay]

I doubt my fingers would even fit on this thing XD

[Psp1000Fanboy]

Sounds like a cross between trumpet and one of those squeak toys

[noveNiz0r]

this looks like diego maradona...

[CorruptedHalo]

looks more like a trumpet.

[TheApprentice91]

its cool but kinda gimmicky. might as well just learn altissimo range and then play your soprano

[btsax2]

how much does on of those cost

[DCATPYEO]

lol @ trying to play the caprice on that thing

[methodistgirl]

That is such a cute little saxophone!

I'd love to have one of those!:D

methodistgirl

[danbison]

Almost sounds like a trumpet.

[GneatGeek]

Fun little buggers aren't they n.n

[honkysaxophone]

haha maybe dolphins would come if you did altissimo on that XDXD

[TheStonCollector]

@honkysaxophone hahahaha or they would die.... lol

[pisse3000]

@honkysaxophone made my day xD thanks man<3

[wildman00sax]

I want one of these. They sound cool and look like fun to play.

[andwii]

omg I want to go to the 2010 one I am going!

[chemicalreaction94]

holy crap! and i thought soprano sax was small!! this is sweet! thanks for posting!

[FLsaxman007]

there are actually 2 smaller than the soprano, it's crazy. and this one is a whole octave higher than the soprano, that's even crazier.

[AreSkavlid]

Reply to FLsaxman007: There are 4 smaller than soprano!

[Leebm29]

I would be interested in buying one. Leebm29 at yh dot c
